The Scout says picking stars from Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Watford can boost the prospects of early attacking returns

Rotating between three players can be a shrewd tactic for managers in the opening Gameweeks of Fantasy Premier League.

Planning ahead in such a way when building an initial squad limits the need for early transfers and can help FPL teams to make a strong start.

The basic concept of rotation involves a pair of goalkeepers or defenders.

Picking two players from different clubs and swapping them in each Gameweek, putting one in the starting line-up while benching the other, allows managers to guarantee themselves a run of home fixtures in that position.

Managers could expand this approach to three clubs and include attacking players in their rotation plans.
